Covered Punch Bowl

Hobbs, Brockunier and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a covered punch bowl with a rounded body made of amber-colored glass. The bowl has a wide mouth and a narrow base. It features a pattern of raised dots across its body. The glass gradates from a deep red at the top to a warm amber towards the bottom. The lid is also made of glass and has a small, decorative finial on top. The finial appears to be made of a darker, more opaque material than the rest of the bowl. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the punch bowl.
